President Gonzalez’ message on the governor’s budget proposals

I know all of you have received Chancellor Charles B. Reed’s message on Governor Schwarzenegger’s most recent budget proposals.

It’s too early to say how further reductions in state funding would affect us here on campus, but the University Budget Advisory Committee and I will be working to address the proposed cuts in the weeks ahead. Our efforts to prepare for the state budget crisis have left us in better shape to weather this storm.

We will also know more after Propositions 1A-1E are decided in the May 19 Special Election.

I want to reiterate that the California State University Board of Trustees has had no formal discussions about furloughs or job cuts. The Board is the only body that can take any such action of that kind in the CSU.

Links to Chancellor Reed’s message and other information on the budget are available at Public Affairs’ Budget Central website at www.csus.edu/pa/budget/.

I will continue to keep you posted as to any new developments.

Thank you,

Alexander Gonzalez
President
